All of these are true: the cops are untrustworthy; a bust like this gets overhyped and both the government issued information and the reporting are inaccurate; pedantry about select fire modes is pointless; Americans have a right to buy military style weapons, and that's in the context of the drafting of the 2A, unless you are not white enough; modern military style weapons are pointless in the hands of all about a very few civilian marksmen - they are fetish items. All the press announcement needed to say to get the correct point across was that somebody was brandishing a weapon in a Waymo, they got caught doing it, and the police responded and arrested them.
